Luke Littler’s bid to win every major Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) title in 2026 was halted after a 10‑4 defeat to Jonny Clayton in the last eight of the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam.

The match, held in the Dutch capital, saw Clayton outscore Littler by six legs, ending the English player’s hopes of a clean sweep of the PDC’s most prestigious trophies that season.

Clayton’s victory in the quarter‑finals keeps him in contention for the tournament’s title, while Littler will now look to regroup for the remaining events in the 2026 PDC calendar.

Both players had previously competed in the World Series of Darts Finals, a key stop on the PDC circuit that attracts top talent from around the world.

With the loss, Littler’s ambition to secure all major titles in a single year has been put on hold, and the focus shifts to the next stages of the competition.
